Vom Fass Claremont shop owners Kim Peeples and Denise Solis are smiling ear to ear after receiving the “Franchise Partner of the Year Award” during the company’s annual conference and awards ceremony held in Las Vegas on February 22.

According to a press release, the award is given to the franchise partners who most exemplify the Vom Fass philosophy, show dedication to memorable customer service experiences and showcase outstanding business acumen. Both Ms. Peeples and Ms. Solis have succeeded through business community networking, participation in local festivals and promotions and marketing contests. They continue to achieve above average store sales and growth in conjunction with their creative events and promotions.

“Denise and I are very excited to be honored by Vom Fass USA in this manner,” Ms. Peeples said. “We truly feel this is a team award made possible by the wonderful group of folks we work with here at Vom Fass Claremont and the Claremont community, which has been so supportive of our shop.”

Vom Fass Claremont is one of nearly 30 independently owned and operated shops coast to coast. The internationally renowned retail franchise offers a unique customer experience serving hand-selected imported European oils, vinegars, spirits, wines and spices directly from the cask.

“Kim and Denise embody all of our values and who we are as a company,” Vom Fass USA president Justin Gibson said in a press release. “This shop is already becoming an integral part of the community in Claremont and we couldn’t be happier about all that they are doing to build and spread our unique brand locally.”

Vom Fass Claremont does offer a plethora of unique opportunities for their patrons. From scotch tastings to community contests, there’s something for everyone. Beginning in March and extended through April 20, Claremont customers will have a chance to “Press Your Luck with an Irish Duck.” Purchase any Irish whiskey and pick a duck from the Lucky Duck Pond.

To make it even more interesting, Ms. Peeples and Ms. Solis have tripled the amount of ducks in the pond that can make you eligible to win a $100 gift card.
